America was once know as the land of the free and the home of the brave. Now the world must see us as the land of the weak and the home of the drama queens!! Cry ins? Excused from midterms because your candidate didn't win? Weeping over not getting your way as an adult? Calling for the expulsion, resignations from companies and schools people who didn't vote the way you thought they should have? Puppy therapy?? REALLY???? PEOPLE GET A GRIP!!!! Do you think the generation known as "the greatest generation" would've done this garbage??!! NO, NO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE!! They woulda tightened up their boot straps and pressed forward!! Do you think Dr. King woulda laid down pouting and crying?? NO, NO HE WOULDN'T HAVE!! Even after being beaten and locked up he didn't wimp out or didn't look for puppy therapy!! If during the last hundred years even we had the pansies that we have now in this country, we'd all be speaking German, Russian, Japanese or some other language and be under the thumb of some dictator!! SUCK IT UP ALREADY!! Things STILL need doing in this country!! Sitting around crying isn't going to solve or change anything!! The guy I wanted to win hasn't won for YEARS now!! Yet I manage to live in this country still!! Some years its more difficult than others but I'm still here!! (James T.)

Democrats: When they don't win the game,they want to rewrite the rule book!
It reminds me of when John Kerry was running for president,and republican Mitt Romney,who was governor then,could have appointed a republican to fill his senate seat if Kerry had won. The democrats panicked and changed the rules and took away the governor's power to appoint a senator. Then after Ted Kennedy died and the dems needed another dem vote in the senate to pass Obamacare,they gave the power to appoint a senator BACK to the governor,which was DEMOCRAT Deval Patrick!

I haven't posted about the election mostly because 1) I do this for a living and most of you don't and 2) I understand why some people are scared and disappointed in the outcome and was showing some deference to my friends and family.
But now I am angry.
Intolerant liberal elites still do not understand why they lost the election. You lost the election because you forgot that not everyone lives in big cities and along the coasts. You forgot that not everyone went to elite colleges.
And worse, you deride the people who didn't and who don't think like you. You make fun of people who eat at Applebees and shop at Walmart and watch NASCAR. You think they are lesser people than you and don't deserve a voice or an opinion.
You call them all names. Call them rubes and rednecks and morons. Call them uneducated and backwards.
I am not talking about the racists, sexists and bigots who reared their ugly heads this year. They are disgusting.
I am talking about the average people who work in manufacturing, own their own business or used to anyway.
Have you ever been to a working farm for more than an hour to pick apples? Have you driven through South and North Dakota or Idaho and tried to understand the people who live there instead of mocking them?
Do you understand why people who live in states where 60% of the land is owned by the government might not want a bigger government.
I didn't grow up with money. Those of you who knew me know that. I grew up shopping at Zayre and worrying that I was wearing the wrong shoes to school and would be made fun of. A big night out for us was TGI Fridays or Ponderosa. I worked hard and went to college and grad school and have had some success, but I never forgot where I came from and I never looked down upon those who grew up like me and may still live in world where they work with their hands.
Do you understand the damage Hillary Clinton did to her chances when she said "she was going to put the coal industry out of business?" If you live in New England or CA or a city where you don't fully understand where your electricity comes from, that might sound nice. But you have never met someone who works in a coal mine or a coal-powered plant or a manufacturing plant that relies on affordable energy to keep costs down. And that message doesn't just resonate with people who actually work in the coal industry. Every American who works in an industry that liberals hate or deride was impacted by that statement. "Is my job next?"
You want to tell a person who has spent their whole life working in a particular field that they have to retrain and find something new overnight. You want to tell someone who invests blood, sweat, tears and treasure into starting and growing a business that they should shutter it and do something else because you disagree with the industry they work in?
I grew up hunting and fishing with my father and uncles and cousin. I have been around guns my whole life and understand the dangers and appreciate the need for caution and safety. Most of you haven't been around them or used one for hunting or self defense. You judge those of us who have. Call me a gun nut? Tell us we cling to our guns? Have you ever met the people who work in the gun industry and work hard to make quality American products and you want to put them out of work too?
Tragedies happen. And I have never cried harder than or longer than Sandy Hook. These things shouldn't happen. But you can't blame guns. Blame the people who pull the trigger.
You backed professional protesters and anarchists over the police officers who put their lives on the line every day and whose families don't know if they will be coming home for dinner or breakfast. I do not believe most of those victims deserved to get shot and I have sympathy for the families of those who died unnecessarily. But i respect the police and know how hard their job is. You think think all police are bad and are intentionally targeting people.
So, liberal elites. Stop making blanket statements about people. Stop telling people who think differently than you they are wrong. You have the right to be offended. People have the right to offend you. The government is not meant to protect you from being offended.
Donald Trump is president in part because half of America was tired of being told that their way of life and their way of thinking was wrong. People are allowed to feel the way they feel - wrong or right. People can feel that illegal immigration cost them their job - wrong or right. They are allowed to think that way. People are allowed to be afraid of terrorism and feel unsafe.
Keep making fun of the Robertsons from Duck Dynasty, who I count as friends, and the way they live their life. I have spent time with them and know they are the kindest, most loving people I have ever met. Their family life is what most people should strive for.
You think because they believe in God and enjoy hunting and wearing camo, they are lesser people. News flash, a lot of people live their lives like them. Let them. Don't make fun of them.
Not everyone can afford a ticket to Hamilton. Some people want to watch football and listen to country music.
Some people think Guy Fieri is a good chef and his food is delicious.
People are allowed to enjoy shooting guns and hunting.
People are allowed to seek comfort and joy in prayer and religion.
You have the right to disagree and do your own thing. Stop judging and insulting and practice some of the tolerance you preach or you may never win another election.

I completely understand how those of a worldly mindset can scream, “not my president” and go around and riot because they have no foundation from the Word of God do draw from. I would certainly like to think that they certainly know what they are doing is wrong based off general social etiquette. As disappointed as I am with their behavior, I am extremely disappointed with those who call themselves Christians who are saying “not my president” and saying they will not pray for him.
Whether you like who your president is or not, as Christians, you need to remember these verses:
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.
5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake.
God has a hand in all of this (Dan. 2:21; 4:17). Now we could speculate and wonder if certain people who have been put in place are there to teach us a lesson because we know God allowed corrupt nations to come against His own people in the O.T. to humble them and to increase their faith. I personally thought it was possible with Obama especially after his push for abortion, homosexual marriage, and transgender bathroom rights. However, I cannot know that for sure, but I do not that God certainly was not pleased with the things I just mentioned.
As much I didn’t like the things that Obama has done and never voted for him, I called him my president, and I prayed for him and our leaders publically and privately. We are told to do this:
1 Timothy 2:1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior
Even if you consider Trump as being your enemy, you still are not of the hook for praying for him because Jesus said:
Matthew 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
45 "that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 "For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 "And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
48 "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
If you are Christian and you are saying, “not my president” or “I am not going to pray for that man” then you are not fighting against the Republican Party, you are fight against God, and you need to change your way of thinking to Paul’s way of thinking.
Philippians 4: 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:
12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Do your part to promote peace and realize that God is in control. Be part of the solution instead of being part of the problem. (Cougan C.)
